      lol this game is easy
      at least on console its easy maybe on PC its harder but i completed it on my Xbox really fast

      @matheusgclassen 8 років тому +1

      +Oasis World but the trick is to always stay alert and use your ai squadmates well
      master leading them and they will be really helpfull
      for example if you want them to take cover go and use the defend command where you want the to go
      also use the supress order a lot it will pin down enemies and they will not be able to fire back

    Why did I think this game was bad because I heard bad reviews about it? It looks pretty good, kind of what Battlefield should be like

    • @quacktac
      @quacktac 10 років тому +3

      It's not at all like the original Flashpoint.
      If this game had a different name I might be kinder to it, buy ARMA or ARMA 2 instead. They are the true OFP sequels.

    I remember trying this game as a kid and couldn't get into it, I think it was probably too serious for me at the time. Anyways, I picked this up last week for £1 and thought I'd give it a go, all I can say is what a game!

    @laincorepilled 10 років тому +20

    I like this game the graphics are good and the shooting is very nice. One thing I find important for shooter is the feel or vibration when you put a mag into a guys face. Granted in this game you only need 1. I know ARMA in some cases is better but this is the ARMA for consoles. I still enjoy it.

    • @gaveroid418
      @gaveroid418 10 років тому

      Quacktics are Go Definitely not, the new ones have the name. Literally, the original was sold to Bohemia Interactive, who renamed it Arma: Armed Assault, and they made sequels for it (Arma 2, the newly-released Arma 3) which are great. DayZ was actually originally an Arma 2 MOD, believe it or not! If you liked the original OFP, go check Arma out, that series is the true OFP.

  • @MisunderstoodWierdo
    @MisunderstoodWierdo 10 років тому +14

    While i do adore arma 2, and have over 100 hours logged into it, i have no idea why people are saying it's ai is better than operation flashpoint's. The ai in arma 2 and 3 is absolute unusable shit.

    • @JUMBODEUCE
      @JUMBODEUCE 9 років тому

    It's nice to see an ounce of nuance in shooter games once in a while. Admittedly you are fighting against one of the typical war game enemies once again, but it is at least done to some extent in order to protect Russia.. Which is kind of rare in shooters about the US of A.

  • @gaveroid418
    @gaveroid418 10 років тому +3

    Funnily enough, the sequel to the original Operation Flashpoint (a REAL military simulator, sold to Bohemia Interactive) took place in Russia as well. Heh. And the maps are much bigger, too, and it's not even primarily an open-world game...

    I really feel like tight squad control is a feature that's missing from shooters these days, like SW:Republic Commando, I miss this feature in modern shooters, I really really hope you can command the AI in Ghost Recon Wildlands because I know I'll play it solo and if my AI team can't operate stealthily I will be sick

  • @xld3000

    it all depends on what setting you are playing on, On Realistic it can take 1 hour or more, and on hardcore it takes a lot longer.

    This game is fun when you get good at it. The action isn't like other games with constant explosions and crazy cinematic moments but is intense and nerve wracking.

  • @baddude1337
    @baddude1337 13 років тому

    This game was great, and Red River pretty much perfected it. The only thing Red River is missing was the scope of the levels in this in that you could go anywhere on the map during the mission. But that's really nothing when the missions themselves are so much better, being both more focused and more intense.

    @MobiusCoin 15 років тому

    For those who like tactical shooters, ie Rainbow Sixm, SOCOM, that kind of thing this is ABSOLUTELY your game. I personally enjoy this game more than MW2 although I can see why people would lean the other way. The AI isn't as bad as they say, they are about as intelligent as the MW2 ones, okay a little less, but that's to compensate and make you use the whole command system more. I wish there was a take cover command though. But seriously, its fun.

    this game is honestly fun as hell if you have some friends and you actually play tactically

  • @Madblaster6
    @Madblaster6 15 років тому

    Kinda it's hard to hit someone because the bullets depending on the gun you have drop or go over the enemy. Once you get the hang of the distance though you can take them out one by one. Although if you get to close you die. So you have to shoot little dots.

  • @kevinmichaeltinney
    @kevinmichaeltinney 14 років тому

    This is the most realistic FPS out there. Going back to other comments, people that can't play really should go back to playing COD. I was in a Multi player game the other night and I kept getting team killed and the people that were doing it said "this game sucks, COD forever", then he "teabagged" me. I was like, WTF!

    I cleared this game on max difficulty , Was one of the most hardest shooters to clear
    The spec opp in this game are better then online players for flaking
    The best feature was the scope actually works in distant , Meaning you will have to calculate how far the target is to make a hit according to scope meters

    @contracts47 13 років тому

    @daddywambat It's not just tactical... it's realistic. Not everything is lined up for you like a shooting gallery that is most FPS games. Not all the enemies will be in one place, they are spread out over a warzone in which they are trying to keep control of. Sure you have to run a lot but that didn't bother me. I can see it being bothersome if you get killed all the time and have to start back at the checkpoint 2 kilometres back. Weapons feel more realistic, one shot can kill you instantly.

  • @schmoo1507
    @schmoo1507 14 років тому

    @Koolzii You wouldnt finish this in two days. Even if you did you would stay entertained cus theres loads of ways to do the mission. In Hip Shot (love that mission) you can either take the squad and assualt from the front. Flank and let other teams distract for stealth, go it alone and leave youre squad where you spawn or flank them and shoot the generator from afar and finish the level without killing anyone.

  • @Kallosar
    @Kallosar 14 років тому

    Question: Have you ever Tried Operation Flashpoint the original? I have read other reviews that this game sucked mainly due to the developers splitting. Some went with Arma 2 and the others went with Dragon Rising. Man because I play CS 1.6 and Battlefield Bad Company 2...but Operation Flashpoint 1 was the most realistic game I've ever played. Hands down. I remember the cutscenes and story behind and it motivated me alot to play that hard ass game. It was so realistic.

    People complain about the AI in this game but still think the original OFP was better?
    The original OFP was amazing, granted, but was merely a fleshed out tech demo with really bad AI too, but even then you could find a way to have them actually help you.
    It's the same with Dragon rising, when you understand the flaws in the AI, you start using them better and I'm now confident enough to make moves under THEIR cover instead of having them move under MY cover.

  • @JNChannel95
    @JNChannel95 11 років тому

    It was a long time since I played the game and I don't even have it anymore because I sold it but as I remember, you can order individual soldiers. Unfortunately I don't remember how, but I guess you will find out yourself if you test your way on the controls.

    @jkdoorbinnia Good job for not whining like a halo fanboy towards my opinion towards halo. I played the game and the story and voice action was compelling but the gameplay left much to be desired. Now with operation flashpoint you have to know when to retreat or keep fighting,where the enemy is and where to flank the enemy. Its not like halo from my perspective where all the baddies are lined up for the slaughtering. In OFP the enemy are in various areas and will try very hard to defend an area

    If you have a decent PC, I'd recommend getting its counterpart ArmA II. In my opinion ArmA II is more polished and it's A.I. are way more sophisticated in their battle sense, for example, they will immediately run for cover if they hear a gunshot and stop all activities. If you don't have a good enough PC for ArmA II, Dragon Rising is not much different, it's just a bit more smaller and less complex, Dragon Rising is pretty good overall.

  • @greyfox129
    @greyfox129 15 років тому

    You are right they don't use ArmA2 but it's based on a similar simulation program that the army uses only they can't make it exactly like the sim program. They might get into trouble for doing that.

    Don't listen to that guy, it depends on if your a run up and shoot em up game because if u are, this really isn't the game for you. This game requires that you have good accuracy and that you are good in tactical situations. This really isn't your average shooter and it is a very amazing game if u are in to realism and you would like to know what it's like on the battlefield.

  • @auscaliber1
    @auscaliber1 13 років тому

    Think of this game as a friendlier version of ArmA to people new to the "war simulator" games.
    Lot of depth, lot of fun. If you like this sort of game, definitely give Armed Assault (ArmA) 2 a shot. The original flashpoint was actually made by the guys that make ArmA games now.
    Give it a go if you are sick of CoD's glaring stupidity.
    Hopefully one day enough people will buy these games that they have enough funding to make them longer and fix all the bugs.

    I don't know why people always try & compare shooter to each other.
    COD & OFP are two different type of games.
    COD is more fast paced/shoot-em up. & OFP is more tactical/realistic.
    That's like trying too compare 'Rock' to 'Heavy Metal'.
    so STOP IT PEOPLE!!, just play the games that fit 'YOU'.
    & if you don't like a game, then don't play it.

  • @ryanwhite9103

    I absolutly loved this game because it was hard u could actually die with one well placed shot and the missions were long, but then red river came along which had been made shit no by codemasters but by all the cod and battlefield fanboys who thought it was to hard or thought it had to much options on the command wheel the ai was shit tho that much i agree with but it was a fun and challenging game but red river just sucked so bad, it was far too easy the gun sounds were all wrong ai still shit and it never had any multiplayer which on dragon rising was great fun

  • @meow1990_2
    @meow1990_2 15 років тому

    The thing that suck in this game is:
    1st. if you by accident select an AT weapon; you're FORCED to assemble it BEFORE you can Stowe it away. Which means death in some cases!
    2nd. Cockpit glass in Helos are NOT bulletproof
    3rd. You can't issue orders while on the move!
    4th. WTF is up with the menu background music?!

  • @danblyton4976

    2. The hit detection isn't broken, its just not hit scan. The bullets literally FLY THROUGH THE AIR. Add recoil, bloom, and suppression and you think its bad hit detection/bullet reg when its not. Plus the camera of your character vs the animations.
    BO2 is a joke. I have a 3 KD in it. So close yet so far from Treyarch. And no dedicated servers on the consoles.

    But it would be very difficult for people who have never experienced real warfare to develope a realistic interpretation of it

    On PS3 you cant "punch in your buddies IP". Even then, is LAN restricted to your internal network only? (like your home network)

    @mattp9216 Amphibious assaults are usually carried about by Marines. And that's basically what you were doing. I mean it was a fucking island. MARSOC is perfect for this. Wait, did you play as a MARSOC operator in the game?
